Researchers Report Promising Findings on Microalgae for Crop Support; Study Ongoing in Malta and Kenya
Research by a team at University of Malta’s Institute of Earth Systems is looking at how microalgal inputs might offer options to support agricultural production, including both crop support and livestock support.
The evidence summarised by their new academic paper, Microalgae-Based Crop Support Technologies Show Multifaceted Promise Well-Suited to Looming Threats, suggests great technological potential for crop support. Specifically, it suggests that microalgal inputs could help farmers address several of their key priorities simultaneously, namely boosting core production, enhancing resilience to biotic and abiotic stresses, and improving product quality.
